Articles\/Reviews:<\/strong>
\n– lifekludger<\/a> – May 2006 – If had to get a laptop tomorrow that runs windows, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d buy this Acer, no question, on layout alone. There is no other notebook (with a keyboard) on the market that gives an alternative layout from the common \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbig palm rest with keyboard at back\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctouch-pad\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 design.<\/em><\/p>\n

– GottaBeMobile.com<\/a> – May 2006 – 35 Minute video review of the TravelMate C200.<\/p>\n

– TabletPCReviewSpot.com<\/a> – February 2006 – …..this Celeron M-based version of the C200 is an outstanding value. We would highly recommend this Tablet PC for students, consumers or business users who want to get a solid and dependable Tablet PC without breaking the bank.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Cyberlaw Central<\/a> – January 2006 – Overall, I have been very happy with my choice of the C200. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy to type out longer essays with the keyboard, and yet for most purposes the pen is a great input device. The conversion between the two modes is rapid enough to keep the flow of my work, unlike other tablets that make you stop and twist the screen around to convert it to tablet mode. <\/em><\/p>\n

– TheAge.com.au<\/a>– December 2005 – A rather bold take on the tablet formula from Acer. <\/em><\/p>\n

– infoSync World<\/a> – December 2005 – 82% out of 100% – As could be expected, its standard battery won’t hold for long, but this niggle aside, the C200 would be an excellent choice for tablet users who favour power over portability.<\/em><\/p>\n

– TabletPCCorner.net<\/a> – November 2005 – This is a rough Google translation of their comments (Originally in French): It’s tempting because it offers a compact but sturdy case, good power consumption, and a significant number of technical features, with a good price. The sliding-track mechanism is solid, although it will take a few months before really judging this. Acer conceived the C200 in the same spirit as Toshiba: It’s a portable with Tablet PC functionality added.<\/em> They mention these pluses and minuses:
\nPluses:<\/strong> Power Consumption, Screen, Screen Angle, Brightness\/Clarity, Biometric Reader, Multiple Batteries, Good Software, 3 USB Ports + Firewire + Bluetooth 2.0
\nMinuses:<\/strong> Trackpoint useability, Serrated Roller (?), no palm\/hand rest, no screen protection (for stylus), XGA Only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
